Re: Reapplying in 6 months

In 2007 I recieved 'your file will be retained for future consideration no sooner than 6 months from the date of your interview'.

Some are..My co-workers who were PFO'd did not all recieve the same letters. In the 'Recent Call Backs' section obviously not everyone is recieving the same letter.

I guess the sarcastic replies are to be expected since they seem to be on most posts on this forum. Yes I am a Flightcraft pilot.

Cargojet losing the UPS contract?

I taught Multi-IFR for years at a B.C. based flight school and we never 'taught' hold entries in the aircraft.
